I find that weird too a late Dachau style Norwegian volunteer sleeve shield
design used on a flag....
Would be post Norwegian Legion period...but I thibnk somebody got creative with a Dachau sleeve patch design!

I would expect to see this style flag design and some text like the Legion name...or unit embroidery...
but honestly I am not a flag expert...but it does look weird to me...

All I can say is it is nice quality. I'm anxious to hear other's opinion. I'd be scared to buy it unless there was a consesus amoung the fine members of this forum, who do know their stuff, gave it a thumbs up.

Regards,
Joel

Yeah but how many other dealers also have fakes/repros for sale in their inventory? I know people love to hate that site and what not but I always judge the item not where it comes from. Even the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and again and this could be one of those items that is real. I don't collect SS stuff but who knows, it could be legit. You see all sorts of weird custom done Heer trumpet banners so why not SS? Just a thought as I have absolutely no dog in this fight, just saying judge an items as it is and not who/which site owns it. Matt

As far as I'm concerned, this thing is brand new...quality made, yes, but the materials used, finishing details, way it hangs, etc. all scream repro to me...

Dear Adelheim

I PM the moderator about this fantasy item a while ago. Great that you have made a tread about it.

I have picture of a norwegian hornblower (he was a message runner) I have talked to his platoonleader and they did not use a trumpet / trumpet banner.

Would have been very interesting if the seller took the time to give us the background on this piece. I also am very skeptical to originality, materials look all wrong. Motif could be plausible for Pz Gren Rgt Norge.

Yes, finding a "Real Item" on that Website is akin to "Finding a Diamond in a Billy Goat's Butthole".
